Hearing what Prime Minister Chu said, Junyi brightened – was he going to talk with him about the Heir?
Junyi replied politely, “Please, Prime Minister Chu.”
They had just gotten back to the Li Village, where they were resting. Chu Tian had already gotten a simple place for them to spend the night.
Chu Tian pointed at the chair, telling Junyi to take a seat.
Junyi had been hesitating – he had wanted to show respect, but since he was working on behalf of the Heir it wasn’t proper for him to stand while he was speaking. So he sat down.
Despite being seated, he held his back straight, showing courtesy.
Chu Tian wasn’t being that serious.
“We are going to follow your suggestion in establishing the defense. It should be done within a couple of days, but we can’t use this defense as a long-term solution, and it should not be the only thing we do. For example, we need to have those things killed, Officer, do you have any ideas about this?” Chu Tian asked.
Hearing what Chu Tian said, Junyi felt rather disappointed.
He had thought that Prime Minister Chu would be glad to mention something about the Heir, but Prime Minister Chu had no intention of mentioning anything like this. He had become fully devoted to this task of his.
Junyi felt very disappointed, but he could not just dwell on this matter at this moment.
He let out a sigh and moved his thoughts to this task as well.
He could just do this work well, and would just take some time before promoting his master to Chu Tian.
Junyi thought for a while and said, “We can’t fight them face to face, even the imperial army would not be able to conquer that thing bare-handed.”
“…”
“Since those monsters are in the mountains, we can just deal with them as hunters do.”
“…”
“However, those things are very ferocious, and the way hunters work would not help. So we need to refine the method.”
“…”
“There are only a few methods which hunters could use to confront monsters. Traps and nets will not work, so we need to dig pits, endless pits, and set up traps, then we need to get someone who is good at martial arts. They should go and lead those things into the traps. The most difficult part is not establishing traps, but finding people who are good at tricking the monsters.”
“…”
“We have many guards with the Heir, but they are just ordinary guards who aren’t capable enough to do this matter, so please, Prime Minister, you might have to work on this.”
“…”
“Also, the most difficult part is how to extinguish those monsters, who can’t be killed with just one stab. However, I haven’t come up with a solution for this, let’s just have a discussion with the Heir to see if we can come up with some better solutions,” Junyi said.
Chu Tian was very pleased by what Junyi had suggested.
He patted Junyi’s shoulders.
“Good, very good. You are the brain! We will do as you suggest,” Chu Tian said with a free laugh.
Junyi looked up at the sky.
It was getting very late.
“Prime Minister Chu, what about visiting the Governmental Office of Li County with me?”
Chu Tian threw a deep look at Junyi.
